thanks. looks good. i was wondering how far from the block it was. right now i have mine installed up top closer to the carb, its just free floating in the braided -8 line which is strong enough to keep it suspended. yours is great for a stealth look, i wasn't too concerned with that on this car but will keep it in mind.

I don't think the picture shows it well but the regulator is actually a good distance away from everything all around. You can easily stick your hand on all sides. So it gets a good amount of air flow all around it. I do all the cars this way and it's never posed any issue. It's out of the way and not visible from the top, yet it's easy to set fuel pressure from the bottom.

I wish they made a fuel regulator that looks like a regular stock fuel pump. Then I could run an in tank pump and keep a stock look under the hood.
